More Info…
There are no guarantees when doing a road trip here that the agenda will be easier or more difficult than previous years. The driving conditions here at best are challenging. Also daily distances achievable are not to be underestimated. A long 8-9 hour day here is only 200km’s and that’s hard work. Most rides are estimated to be about 150km’s per day, some are less and occasionally maybe up to the 200km mark. For most riders this is enough and at the end of the day it’s primarily a holiday of course. Also with 5-6 hour days the rides are a lot more leisurely, we can take more scenic roads and we have more time for pics and photo stops etc.
As usual, sometimes we will be off the beaten track and with this the April ride also focuses more on some countryside rides, beach R & R as well as some scenic scootering and taking in national parks, floating markets, ancient temples, mangrove forests ,great food , boat trips and stunning beaches.
